The Department of Justice said Oliver-Hollis kept the home (SerenityCare LLC), located in Penn Hills, understaffed and regularly filed for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) benefits while falsely representing a proper level of staffing.

Police said the home fell into a state of disrepair, leading to multiple citations for unsanitary and unsafe living conditions for the residents.

Her sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 10. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both.
